In defense of Thresher travel

I grew up in a small town in southern New Jersey called Columbus. Most people from New Jersey haven't even heard of it. If they have, it’s only ever because of our farmers’ market or our supposedly haunted hotel on Main Street. I attended the local public school from preschool through twelfth grade, and I hated every moment of it.

Rice has a serious accessibility problem

Just over a year ago, disability scholar Bowen Cho ranked Rice 35th in a study of disability inclusion and access across 106 universities. Cho noted that the 10-minute transfer period between classes used by Rice and many other universities can pose an issue to students with mobility issues.
